“Peanut peanut.”
“Jesus Christ Jere, you’re drunk.” Michael pushed the other boy away, Jeremy looking mad.
“Peanut peanut!” He whined, pressing the nut to Michael’s lips again. Michael rolled his eyes, then ate the peanut, Jeremy smiling and patting his head. “Good boy.”
“Chloe, you ruined my boyfriend.” Michael whined, looking at the not-sober-but-not-drunk girl. Chloe snorted, then shrugged her shoulders in a half-assed apology.
“Sorry.” She then turned away from him, saying over her shoulder, “You blame me, but who was the one who placed him in my care?”
“I was only gone for two hours!”
“Three,” Jeremy mumbled, now trying to climb on Michael. “You’re late.”
“Yeah Michael, you’re late.” Jake added, wheeling over in their wheelchair, trying to help Michael get Jeremy down from him. As Jake wrangled the giggly Jeremy, Michael rubbed his eyes.
“I’m sorry for being late, Jeremy-” Michael started, Jeremy wrinkling his nose and looking up at him with puppy eyes.
“I waited,” Jeremy pouted, his eyes teary from the alcohol in his system. Michael felt bad.
“I know, bebe. Now, lets go back to our dorm, ‘kay?”
Jeremy nodded, and Jake let go of him so that he could skip up to Michael, stumbling and grabbing Michael’s bicep, Michael wrapping a arm around his waist. Jeremy hummed and laid his head on Michael’s shoulder, clinging to him as they headed down the hallway to their dorm.
Once they got there, Jeremy started poking Michael’s cheek, giggling childishly as Michael batted his wrist down as he started to remove his own coat, Jeremy wandering over to the couch and flopping on it. He kicked his shoes off and laid on the couch, nearly dozing off before Michael was gently brushing the hair out of his face, making the other boy squint in a displeased manner.
“Mmmrgh-?” Jeremy grumbled, and Michael smiled, a snort leaving his nose before he could stop it. Years of seeing Jeremy be under the influence of something, whether it be weed or alcohol, always gave Michael humorous sounds coming from Jeremy.
“Don’t you wanna sleep on the bed, Jere-bear?” Michael teased, tossing his head in the direction of the bed they shared. Jeremy thought about it, then nodded, hoisting himself out of bed and stumbling to the bed, Michael crawling in after him, taking his glasses off and setting them on the table, and started to put his arms around Jeremy to spoon him.
Jeremy fidgeted, whining ‘no!’ and flipping so that he was the big spoon, Michael giggling a little under his breath and going with Jeremy’s drunk antics.
Jeremy put his face in Michael’s hair, whispering ‘soft’ before nuzzling it, Michael smiling sleepily before dozing off, Jeremy following after.
